I am blessed to be a talented, driven model with a background in print, runway, live event modeling, and acting. I am very outgoing, ambitious, determined, down to earth, and fun; I definitely have my goofy moments. I definitely know how to have fun, but I am about my business, period. I am very self-sufficient and define perseverance.

I have been modeling for 2 1/2 years. 2 1/2 years of growth!!! I have worked with many companies doing promotional and tradeshow modeling; designers and boutiques doing runway modeling; a calendar for a popular radio station, and been in local magazines and designer advertisements.

I am the official/exclusive model for Hour Glass Angel (www.hourglassangel.com), which sells shape wear products that accentuate a woman's curves. I am featured on their website, have been featured on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) buses, and in Hype Hair magazine.

I have shot other national advertisements for Pilgrim's Pride, Street Level 9, and Motorola. I have done a local advertisement for Chicago Tribune and Red Eye. I have a spread in a two new magazine coming out soon. I have done television fashion segments on CBS and NBC.

I am an entrepreneurial overachiever. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Marketing and minor in Communications from Northern Illinois University (NIU). Outside of modeling, my career is in marketing as a Sales & Marketing Coordinator; in addition, I am an event planner, speaker, and writer. I also do a little designing and acting.

I enjoy coordinating events and using my creativity. In October '07, I coordinated my first fashion show, which was a Halloween costume fashion show; it definitely was a humbling success! I will continue to host creative fashion/modeling events and projects.

My professionalism most of all makes me distinctive; but, my extreme dedication, easy-going personality, and strong work ethic set me apart from other models. I demonstrate my passion for success with a polished look, all in a professional package.
